There are two reasons why everybody should consider ways of cutting back on energy expenses. The first is money saving, while the other is that by doing so, you are helping conserve the future of the planet. As you consume less energy, you are slowing down the depletion of natural resources, especially the non-renewable, as well as reduce your contribution to global warming by adopting a smaller carbon footprint. This helps make the world a more habitable place as we move towards an already compromised future.

Contrary to what you may think, you do not have to make great sacrifices in order to reduce your energy expenses. Here are some simple ways.

1. Power down appliances that are not being used

This is an article I recently found (http://www.innvista.com/health/nutrition/amino/pdamage.htm) saying that heating any food causes it to lose its nutritional value, and in many cases adds dangerous carcinogens that are harmful to your health.

I'd be very interested in hearing from Raw Food eaters about their experiences and any studies they might be familiar with regarding the issues raised in the article.

Protein Damage Through Heating

Protein structure is altered during heating; and, since most people do not eat their meat or eggs raw, this is a major factor to consider. Evidence is mounting indicating that heated animal protein may be a significant factor in coronary thrombosis since it reportedly causes a shortening of both the blood clotting time and the platelet clumping time. The amino acids in eggs are coagulated by heat and thereby lost to the body. Eggs also contain sulphur, which puts a heavy strain on the liver...
